Re: expand('%<.exe') omits the '.exe'?

Hi Marc Weber,
A pair of '%' is the way to access environmental variables.

I want to use '%<.exe' to access the exe file whose title is the same
with the file which is currently edited. For example, current buffer
is a.c, is it possible to access a.exe by expanding '%<.exe'? If I
don't use '%' here, what should I use?
Thanks for your help.
